Build a game empire from scratch

NetDragon has indeed played tricks.

At the beginning of the video, it is a somewhat low angle of view, moving forward in an old and dilapidated passage.

Camera movement also looks a little weird - there's almost no jitter, and it moves very smoothly.

Viewers follow this view to the end of the passage, then turn left.

The figure of the enemy appeared in the distance. When seeing the enemy, half a gun appeared on the screen. With the sound of the gun, the "player" successfully knocked down two enemies.

But soon, more enemies appeared, and the "player" was set on fire by the enemies, and the entire angle of view fell back, falling directly out of the "body".

Only then did the audience realize that it wasn't the player himself who was fighting, but a half-person-high ground combat robot that moved on its tracks and was firing.

Afterwards, the camera quickly pulled back, away from the battlefield, and the figure of the player finally appeared in the camera.

In the lower left corner of the screen, the real-time operation screen of the players on the omni-directional treadmill appeared simultaneously.

In the actual screen, the character controlled by the player starts to fly the armed drones around him one by one, sets the automatic enemy hunting mode, and then walks towards the gate of the underground armory with a rifle.

There is a grenade on the chest, and a light machine gun on the back, followed by a tracked land combat robot, and armed drones surround the body.

The drumbeat of the background music gradually became clear and loud.

The gunshots sounded, the battle started, and the music became restless in an instant!

What follows is a quick clip of the battle scene. The drone goes forward to clear the enemy behind the bunker. The protagonist quickly follows up and kills the missed enemy. From time to time, he throws a few grenades in the rhythm of the music, and even the sound of the explosion is accurately stuck in the music. drumbeat.

With a multi-pronged approach, it is easy to mobilize the emotions of the audience.

At the climax of the music, the protagonist sets up a machine gun on a high place, pulls the trigger with a long aria, and shoots wildly at the mercenaries who are busy carrying gold for gold below.

The bullet pierced through the mercenary's body and shot into piles of neatly stacked gold, and gold fragments flew in the air!

The speed of the violent and crazy picture is slowed down, and the gunshots, roars, and screams are all suppressed and lowered until only the high-pitched and gorgeous human voice is left, and after the picture is slowed down, the machine gun is ejected. Crisp sound.

"Talent!" Looking at this picture, Lin You couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and a rotten boat has a few kilograms of nails. NetDragon still has talents."

Feeling over, it was a pity: "It's a pity for such a talent to be placed in NetDragon! Let's see if we can poach them!"

The trailer, which is not long at all, has been given more than half of the space by the armory.

NetDragon is obviously telling players: "We have made up the orthodox ending of the game, and we are very sincere, and we have not dealt with it at all!"

The second half of the text becomes richer:

Wider maps, cities, islands, cruise ships; more friendly NPCs, friendship lines and even love lines...

Judging from the content shown in the current trailer, this DLC is already full of sincerity.

The feedback from the players is also quite good, and the real-time barrage is almost unanimously praised.

——This time there is really no trace of the navy, basically all real player comments.

At most, some players are worried about whether the actual game opportunities will shrink, but even if they are worried, they still say:

"Even if there is a certain shrinkage, as long as it can achieve 70% of the effect of this trailer, it is very sincere. Don't forget, this is a "free" DLC."

With NetDragon's current reputation in the player circle, this kindness and tolerance are really commendable.

On NetDragon's side, both Zhang Heying and Yu Gu were deeply moved, and even felt that the sales of the game were promising.

In the gloomy office that has been gloomy for the past few days, the atmosphere has eased a lot.

But as people in the game, they didn't immediately realize that this kindness and tolerance are actually not so much for NetDragon, but more for the brand "Blaze".

No matter how high the threshold of VR games is, no matter how obvious the decline is now, it cannot change the fact that it was once brilliant.

And "Blaze" is one of the most memorable series of games for many players.

Players are a wonderful group of people who are hungry for new games and have an astonishingly high level of attention for future games, even giving birth to an endless stream of "uncle party".

But while maintaining a high degree of enthusiasm for "now" and "future", they are also very fond of classic old games. It is common for a game to be played for more than ten years.

In addition, many players have vaguely guessed: "Lage Flame 3" is likely to be the last work of the [raging flames] series.

Even if a sequel can be released after a long time, it is very likely that it will not be on the VR platform.

Due to the combination of various factors, the release of the DLC "Red Flame" of "Raging Flame 3" not only ushered in the unexpected popularity of NetDragon, but also received a completely unexpected high tolerance and praise from the player community.

But how much of this tolerance and support will continue after the end of "Flame" is a question mark.

In the live broadcast room, Ah Yi was also watching the trailer with the audience.

Although with his current fan base, the proportion of viewers who originally watched his live broadcast of VR games has been greatly reduced, but those who remain until now are, without exception, the most sticky old viewers.

These people were very impressed by A Yi wearing diapers in his early days, staying on the VR device for almost a whole day to engage in marathon live broadcasts, and being so tired that he was almost dehydrated.

Naturally, I also remember the scene where A Yi finished playing "Flame 3" and swearing madly at the ending that ended abruptly.

Now these people spoke one after another, asking him if he wanted to play live.

"Yes, I definitely want to play." A Yi replied without thinking.

But then he said: "I have long thought that the omnidirectional treadmill at home is taking up space, but I have always remembered the end of the "Flame" series. Even if I have been watching the second-hand price drop, I have held back and did not make a move."

"When I finish playing the DLC this time and say goodbye to the "Flame" series, I can finally release it with peace of mind."

Speaking of this, Ah Yi couldn't help but feel deeply moved: "My youth will eventually come to an end."

The barrage is as chaotic as ever:

"Sigh, less than half a year ago, I was still thinking about the "Blaze" series getting better and better, and creating more glories, but now the biggest luxury has become a decent exit."

"It's a pity, but let me tell you, there's nothing wrong with it. Look at you now, lying down comfortably to live stream, isn't it more comfortable than wearing a leash all over your body?"

"As soon as Mirage came into the market, I sold the third-generation Feilong that I had just bought for less than a month, and I lost more than 2,000 yuan. Looking at the current market price, I almost sold it as a treadmill! Fortunately, I run fast !"

...

A Yi took a few glances, but didn't say anything more.

It is true that the "Flame" series is his "youth", but let him go back and use VR equipment to do live broadcasts again?

Then he would just say: "Sorry, we can't go back!"

And NetDragon's trailer is not over yet.

The previous game content is still a serious promotion of the real game machine, which is not a big deal.

What they were really preparing for was—

At the end of the trailer, the live camera of the player in the lower left corner of the screen is enlarged to occupy the entire screen.

The equipment stopped working, and the player took off the full-coverage headset, revealing a face that made countless viewers exclaim "hold the grass" in the barrage.

This is what NetDragon prepared. They paid a lot of money to invite Yang Jun, the men's weightlifting champion who won the Olympic Games two years ago.

The war only stopped 15 years ago. The Olympic Games here naturally do not have the same influence as Lin Youyuan's world, and have always been limited to the European cultural circle.

It was not until after the armistice that the opportunity was finally seized and it became a global event.

Until the year before last, there had only been 3 sports games in which the world participated, and each champion was very precious and exciting.

As a very talented athlete, Yang Jun has participated in two of them. The first time he won the silver medal, and the second time he directly won the championship with his dominant performance.

In the next two years, while preparing for the next Global Olympic Games, he also participated in many sub-level events held in the cultural circles of Great Summer, Europe, and America.

But no matter where it is, what level of competition, as long as he participates, he will definitely win the championship.

As he won one trophy after another, and one medal after another, his fans soon spread all over the world, and his popularity was terrifying!

NetDragon must have spent a lot of money to invite him!

And this trick is very clever-Yang Jun's fans are not limited to domestic, his fan base around the world is quite exaggerated.

The third generation of NetDragon's Feilong was affected by the mirage in China, and its sales dropped sharply.

But overseas, where the mirage has not yet spread, the decline in sales can still be controlled. With the help of the super high quality of the DLC itself, coupled with Yang Jun's popularity bonus, there is hope for a turnaround!

Moreover, the VR equipment does have a fitness effect, and it fits somewhat with Yang Jun’s athlete background. It’s hard to say whether it can promote the sales of the equipment, but the advertising effect must be full.

This flower work can be said to be very beautiful.

It can be seen from the explosive barrage that the players are also very surprised by Yang Jun's appearance!

Yang Jun didn't say anything too exaggerated in the advertisement, but said that he also plays some games after training, and he is most optimistic about VR games that have both entertainment and fitness effects.

Among the VR games, the "Flame" series is my favorite, so friends who are interested are welcome to give it a try.

Finally, the white text on a black background once again explained that at 8 o'clock in the morning the next day, after the official release of "Flame 3 Red Flame", the trailer will end.

The comments immediately became buzzing:

"With Yang Jun's training intensity, does he really have time to play games? How about playing VR games? Is that considered rest or extra training?!"

"By the way, with Brother Yang's strength, can this traction rope really move? I'm afraid it won't be broken in a moment of excitement!"

"NetDragon did a great job this time, and I like to see Brother Yang making money."

...

The comments with the most likes in the front row are all about Yang Jun, and there are almost no comments about games.

It can be seen that Yang Jun's influence is astonishing!

Compared with the less than 20 million VR game players in China, who are even shrinking even more, Yang Jun's popularity cannot be calculated by numbers, it is completely at the "national" level.

With Yang Jun's appearance, NetDragon finally overwhelmed Yunmeng in terms of Internet attention.

"What is this?" After watching the trailer, Lin You was a little speechless: "Is this what heroes see and agree with?"
